Dr. Jennifer Reichel, founder of Seattle's acclaimed Pacific Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, is seeing a growing patient demand for "tumescent liposuction." While traditional liposuction may have been the only viable option in the past, Dr. Reichel shares several important advantages of this newer, cutting-edge alternative.
"When it comes to stubborn body fat, diet and exercise may be enough for some folks. Others, however, need a little boost," explains Dr. Reichel. "And, although not a weight loss solution, tumescent liposuction can be that boost a patient may need."
Unlike traditional liposuction, a tumescent procedure involves filling the fatty layer of skin with a solution of anesthetic and other medications. This causes tissue to become firm and swollen, allowing for effective and precise fat removal.
Dr. Reichel was also quick to point out some of the important advantages of a tumescent procedure over that of traditional liposuction. "First and foremost, patients avoid undergoing general anesthesia and its associated risks," explains Dr. Reichel. "What's more, the tumescent solution temporarily reduces capillary size. This can mean less bruising, less bleeding and very often, a less painful recovery."
Asked to speculate on the procedure's biggest advantage, Dr. Reichel concluded succinctly: "Most importantly, tumescent liposuction is - at its core - minimally invasive. Performed under local anesthesia, this safe, outpatient procedure can literally mean the difference between the body a patient has and the one they have always wanted."
